Blowout Blowout is a 3D printing issue where excessive pressure in the nozzle causes filament to extrude uncontrollably, resulting in defects or damaged prints. Blowouts are typically caused by nozzle clogs, incorrect temperature settings, or improper retraction. To prevent blowouts, users should regularly clean the nozzle, use high-quality filament, and ensure proper extrusion settings in the slicer. Blowouts can disrupt the print’s surface and may require restarting the print to achieve desired results. |
